[Bloodlines 1.3.0] Crit AoF TTD Glacial Cascade

nice amulet you got there, wink wink ;)

edit: Wait a minute.... standard league :(

Hey, altho GC is a good enough skill to make BL builds with it, why would you call it BLOODLINES if you made it on standard, including some pretty hard to reach stuff (like bereks grip) on non-std?


Lastly You do get a lot of damage but I feel it comes from your high lvl and very expensive stuff, not from the build. The damage is nice but I feel a regular GC with GC/Aoe/Conc/Pcoc/Add.Light/Add.Chaos (Echo on staff) would just do more.
It's not very reflecty anyways thanks to big parts of phys and chaos, + you can shock fine with herald of thunder/add lightning

This character died yesterday at rank 50 in the bloodlines league. All the items were found there. Maybe I should make it more clearer.

Your skill gem setup dies to elemental reflect and will struggle against elemental resistant mobs.

I also said Berek's Grip is optional

Just wondering - What's the benefits of turning your dmg to fire EXCEPT reflect? I mean is reflect really that big of a deal and worth all of the trouble? -sapphire flask + purity of cold should do? Thanks in advance

Reflect is already a big enough reason.

You also get to use one of the best multipliers in the game, elemental penetration, in this case, of fire

I only count 3 items with plus life. That's insane your going to have 3k like at best and get one shotted to crit reflect.

4800hp and 1200 unreserved mana.

As I said, I take 0 reflect damage, if you were somehow in the right I wouldn't have reached 95 in a hardcore league.

Oh ok not as bad as i thought then. All those life nodes do pay off i guess.



The physical portion of your glacial cascade is only 50% being converted over to fire.
Take a level 20 GC Gem:
That is 92 average physical damage, and 168 cold damage.
With pledge of hands you get all the cold converted and only 46 of the physical. You are missing out on 17.6% of the damage.

Taking from the build of the week the other week for shockwave totem, you could use blackgleam quiver to convert all that physical 100% to fire as well, then the 100% global critical strike multiplier from death's harp bow would work much better with GC (6% base crit) than it did with my shockwave totem (4% base crit). Obviously pledge of hands is godlike but for those who can't afford it it could be a quick budget switch.

Some food for thought.

I love how uncanny your builds are hans. Some people just can't help but get bent out of shape. Keep up the good work :D

This exact same build was already posted by someone else some time ago.

Why do people recycle builds over and over when there's literally 1-2 viable paths through the skilltree to maximize the effect of a skill and it's piss easy to make up variations, leading them to already be posted?

Since BL started, this is the 4rth almost identical thread I've seen on GC.

You could have at least exalted that amulet you cheap bastard
